Full image caption

The Operating Theatre at The Middlesex Hospital. Black and white photographic postcard sent by an inpatient to his sister during his stay in the hospital in 1910. In his message Bert, the patient, notes he has not been seen by the Doctor who was too busy and may not be seen for another two days. All large London hospitals produced similar postcards: they promoted hospital services and facilities and were used to by patients to write to friends and family.
